Yoga 13 Supports 500gb Boot drive but not running as SATA III?

Hi All,
I had previously installed a 250gb Plextor drive in the second mSata slot and upgraded the RAM to 8gb in my Yoga 13 IdeaPad which I purchased early in 2013. I followed the installation instructions and guidance offered by the Community so thanks to all who posted and other than the occasional skipped heartbeat as I removed cables it went well.
As SSD prices are now dropping I decided to try adding a Samsung 840 EVO 500gb. I was a little skeptical about taking the chance after reading the comments posted here and elswhere regarding the 256gb "ceiling" for both slots but decided "no pain, no gain" and went ahead anyhow.
I'm happy to report ( I think) that I was able to install the drive. First, in the secondary slot and then finally, as the boot drive in the primary slot. I had originally installed it in the 2nd slot after removing the Plextor drive and leaving the original 128gb boot in place. I entered the bios and it was recognized, I saved the settings and then initialized and formatted the drive with the disk management tool. No problems.
I then wanted to move the Plextor drive to the primary so that I would have a larger boot drive. Since the old primary was a Samsung I though I might be able to use the Samsung migration utility to clone the old boot drive to the Plextor. Following suggestions from others I put the Plextor into slot one and then put the old boot drive into an external usb3 housing. I tried several times to boot from the old boot drive through the usb but couldn't get it to work so I reinstalled the old boot drive back into slot 1.
Just for kicks I ran the migration utility with the Plextor attached though the usb. It didn't recognize the plextor drive but it did offer the option to clone to the 500gb in the second slot. I figured I had nothing to lose so I went for it. The clone finsihed and I then swapped the 500 gb into slot 1, put the plextor back into slot 2, started the bios, verified the drives were present and that the 500gb was the boot, and saved the changes. Presto, it booted just fine and everything appears to be ok. However...
Went I started the Samsung performance tool it told me that my drive was not connected to a sata III controller. The performance benchmark would back that up as my read/write and iops performance are pretty poor compared to what I was hoping. I've confirmed that the Intel C216 chipset that is installed does indeed support sata III 6gbs rates but the drive doesn't seem to think so.
There doesn't appear to be anything posted on the board about the controller or any similar issue - can anyone offer some guidance?
Thanks,
Paul

Well dont worry as to whether the Tranfer Mode is Reporting you S-ATA Drive at, as the UDMA Modes do NOT apply to S-ATA Drives, so if it is Reporting UDMA-5 or UDMA-6, there is No Difference with the Transfer speeds as far as S-ATA Drives are concerned........And I would Try to Enable the RAID Option in the BIOS, If indeed you are running a RAID Array ...............Sean REILLY875

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

Client getting an IP lease on the 64-bit LiteTouch boot image, but not the 32-bit version.

MDT 2012 U1. No problem with PXE booting so WDS is not the issue.
The NIC in question is the Intel I217-LM, which resides on both the new Dell Optiplex 9020 and the Latitude E7440. I downloaded the Dell drivers and then the Intel drivers and imported them into the WindowsPE drivers folder in the workbench. Updated
the boot images to make sure the new drivers were injected. Both yielded the same result. I can do everything I need to do when booting to the 64-bit LiteTouchPE_x64.wim boot image, but not the 32-bit version. When booting to the 32-bit
version, I get no IP configuration info at all.
When looking at the drivers in MDT, I see only one difference: the supported OS versions. The 64-bit driver supports 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.2. The 32-bit driver supports only 6.1.1 and 6.2. Not sure if that's the issue.
Tried using drvload within 32-bit WinPE to manually inject the NIC driver. Still no luck. Ipconfig yields no configuration at all.
If I can't get these machines to boot to the 32-bit boot images, I can't deploy 32-bit images, unless there's a way of which I'm unaware.
EDIT: A little extra background. My WindowsPE folder has two subfolders called x86 and x64. Obviously, 32-bit drivers go into the x86 folder and 64-bit drivers go into the x64 folder. Then in the properties of the deployment share a
selection profile is selected which points to the architecture-specific folders.

Specifically what do you see when you are in WinPE, press the F8 button, and run ipconfig.
1. ipconfig shows no network adapters (see:
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rpedersen/clip_image002_53DA17D4.jpg ). This means you still have not loaded the correct device drivers, check the c:\windows\system32\wpeinit.log file.
2. ipconfig shows an "autoconfiguration IPv4 Address" with a netmastk of 255.255.0.0. This means that the client did not get an IP address from the DHCP server. Double check the connection between the client and the DHCP server.
3. ipconfig shows a correct address. There is no problem. :^)

I get the first result. Absolutely no network adapters, which I assumed indicated no appropriate device driver.
This is the result of the wpeinit.log from the machine booting to the 32-bit boot image:

At first I thought the first bolded section might be relevant, but when I booted to the x64 boot image, which works fine, I get the same message in its wpeinit.log file. The only difference between the two log files is that the x64 boot image actually
shows successful installation of a driver where the second bolded section is.

Constant Error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working. But NOT running Trusteer Rapport.

I am experiancing this unbelieveably annoying and constant Flash error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working.
But NOT running Trusteer Rapport, I never have, and it's not even installed on my computer. So what's causing this?

There were a couple AntiVirus/AntiMalware products that keep coming up, but I haven't validated that in the lab and don't want to call anyone out publicly without reporting the issue to them first.  If you could tell me what antivirus/antimalware products and versions you have installed, that would be helpful.
So, third party stuff aside, I'd like to know more about the crashes your seeing:
1.) Please provide links to the Firefox crash reports. If you have multiples, the first few would be great.
     In Firefox, type about:crashes in the address bar
     If the link starts with "bp...", it's already been submitted -- just right-click on it and copy the link, and paste it into the reply here.
     If not, click it to submit it, and copy the subsequent link.
2.) In firefox, type about:support
     Just copy and paste the output into the reply.
3.) In Firefox, type about:plugins
     Please copy and paste the output into the reply
4.) Please provide the output of the DirectX Diagnostic Utility
     Click Start > type "dxdiag" [enter]
     Click Save All Information
     Copy the output of the file into the reply, or use Adobe SendNow/DropBox/PasteBin to share the file.
5.) If you can provide an exact URL and step-by-step instructions on repeating the crash (if it's consistent), that would be really helpful. My goal is to build out a configuration that matches yours as closely as possible, reproduce the problem and then debug it.
If you're not comfortable sharing that diagnostic information publicly, send me a private message. Just click my name and use the options on the right.
Thanks!

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number.

Toshiba Satellite L305-S5909 - DVD ROM / CD Drive will not Run CDs

I have a Toshiba Satellite Model Name: L305-S5909 Part Number: PSLB8U-05302F running Windows Vista 64 with Service Pack 2. The Drive in my computer is, Mat**bleep**a DVD-RAM UJ88OES
I really don't know when this started but we just discovered that our DVD / CD Drive will not run any CDs or DVDs inserted. When I check My Computer or Windows Explorer the Drive shows up. Also I checked the Device Manager and it's there also. I have tried uninstalling the drive and letting Windows Reinstall it and that did not help. I have also upgraded the computer bios also no results. And I have tried different disks, cleaning the optical eye, etc. The eject command from the computer works but will not run anything inserted.
Any Ideas?

i had the same problem with my L505D-S5965. you are going to most likely have to replace the dvd drive. the optical eye burned out in mine and from what you have already tried to do to fix it. that is probably what happened with yours. if it is under warranty you can send it to the depot or take it to a toshiba service center near you. if not you can change it yourself.it not to hard.
hope that helps

Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives

Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
A nonprofit has asked me to configure new Windows 7 computers so that all content is BLOCKED from the hard drive, but any downloads may be downloaded to the individual's flash drive.
The nonprofit allows individuals to play games, check e-mails, but we have a problem with them trying to upgrade Firefox, Google, etc.
They want all configuration to the DEFAULT STATUS after a person log off the computer....no upgrades to any programs!
I will occasionally upgrade programs once a month or so, as the volunteer administrator.
They have changed the controls from Windows ME and XP, when I was a computer programmer and installer (I also worked during Windows 3.11, 95 and 98/98 SE versions as well)...
Anyone help me, please?

1. You can change security with cacls function. However if you do it in wrong way, you can cut the branch you are sitting on:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490872.aspx
2. If you are working in Active Directory, consider Group Policy
3. Consider third pty software for granular access control (DeviceLock,...)
4. There is nearly nothing that you can transfer from previous technologies. (Even nice
steady state in Windows XP has no continuation. Consider
kiosk mode in Windows 8.1)

DAC Task are queued but not running

Hi Everybody,
Currently we are running the ETL for only Financials and there are 394 tasks in total out of which 285 have been completed successfully. At times some of the tasks would just get stuck on particular action. For e.g The analyze task after dimension population would remain in the queued status and would never switch to run mode. So we had to abort the ETL and restart it. This action resulted in successful completion of the previously queued task. Now for past two days the ETL is once again stuck (queued but not running).
For e.g The following task is showing status of running
51     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate     Running     2009-03-02 21:09:59.0                    DataWarehouse     DataWarehouse     SILOS          Update Slowly Changing Dimension     Informatica     0     0     -2     CUST R11 5 10
But if I right click on the details
I get this
1     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate_Full     Running     2009-03-02 17:40:41.0     2009-03-02 21:09:09.0     3 hour(s), 28 min(s), 28 sec(s)     Verifying if workflow still running on Informatica Server 'Oracle_BI_DW_Server'.
If still running will attach to the workflow.     DataWarehouse     Informatica     0          -2     0
And the remaining detail tasks for this are in queued status.
What could be the reason?
Does it need the Infomartica workflow manager open? It is open currently open but must have been accidently closed in between.
Informatica services have always been running.
Thank you very much

Hi
This Sometime happens with DAC.We faced the same issue and had an SR open with Siebel for almost 2 weeks,they Couldnt help us out.
Restart your DAC Server and Do a Dryrun and then run your full ETL .
The Analyze task would not hang anymore.
I dot have any logical reason why this happens,but i am guessing it has to do with some java heap memory.So restarting the Server would free up the memory.(i am guessing but not sure).
But it Works.
Try it
Let me know if this helps
Thanks

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

SATA III in a Mac quad 2009 SATA II? Want a fast boot drive, but would the SATA III be a waste?

Mac is SATA II and I need a new HDrive. Quiet, boot speed desired. Must the new hard drive be SATA II ?
Are hybrid drives (200 MB SSD) reliable and reasonably priced?
Thanks in advance.

RE: SATA Bus speed:
Most Rotating drives available today, whatever their SATA spec, can source data off the spinning platters no faster than about 125MBytes/sec.
SATA 3 is rated at 6G bits/sec, which theoretically is about 750 Mega Bytes/sec
SATA 2 is rated at 3G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 375 Mega Bytes/sec
SATA 1 is rated at 1.5G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 187.5 Meg Bytes/sec
None of the SATA Busses is a bottleneck for consumer Rotating drives you can buy today. Trying to speed up the SATA Bus will not provide any real-world performance increases for Rotating Drives.
Even most common SSD drives are not bottlenecked by SATA 2.

How to programmatically load and show the front panel of a vi but NOT run it?

Is there a way to load and show the front panel of a vi but NOT run it? I am starting with the AsynchronousCallAndForget.vi from the example finder and inserted an invoke node with the FP Open method call prior to the Start Asynchronous Call node. The vi I am loading has the "Run when opened" unchecked and the menu bar IS visible so I can manually click the run arrow. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why are you using the Async call? If you simply open the VI reference, then call the FP.Open method this works fine. You can then call the VI run method with Wait Until Done set to false if you wish to run it Asynchronously, this is how we did it in ye olde days before we had this new fangled "Start Asynchronous Call" stuff.

I need to delete files from my iMac hard drive, but not from my other devices (that are sync. to iCloud). How do I do this?? My Mac is a 24-inch Mid 2007 running on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your help.

I have recently recieved messages indicating that my start up disc is almost full. Consequently I need to remove some files from my hard drive. I've backed up my hard drive onto a NAS system & onto an external harddrive. The problem now, is that whenever I try to delete a file, a message comes up saying that if I remove this file from my hard disc it will remove it from all my other devices that are syn. to it. How do I remove a file (movies) from my iMac but not from other devices.
Thanks for your help
Robert

You're right - this question has nothing to do with iSync!
You're best bet would be to buy yourself an external Firewire or USB 2.0 hard-disk. There's no way you'll get 150gb onto an 80gb drive - certainly not in an instantly accessible way.
Your new Mac would've had the Migration Assistant appear during the initial OS install. This allows you to connect your new and old Mac together via a Firewire cable and automatically transfer your important files from old Mac to new.
Once you've all the files off your old Mac, re-format it and re-install the OS that came with it. If you boot up the Mac from the OS install DVD, there is an option to re-format the HD and install the OS.
